History with its relentless, untiring grasps has claim¬ ed another year of school. Looking back, we as students realize that the many expectations and comprehensions with which we entered the school have become reality and actual experiences. Indeed, we have been revitalized in the Lord through experiences in classes and chapel, meditation and prayer. In spite of many spiritual strug¬ gles, this has been a most wonderful year for us—a true milestone in our lives. May God reward those through whom He has made this year possible. Fellow student, this has, however, been only one step in God’s great plan for your life. Are you now willing to go on with the Lord? The centre of the Lord’s will is the only place for you. Are you ready to choose it? As a graduating class we are deeply conscious of the fact that our Bible School years have passed — all too swiftly. They seem but months as we pause in retros¬ pect. Have the past days, months, and years been well spent, or perhaps squandered? May God pardon our fail¬ ures! We have gained not only academically, but also spiritually. Enlightenment has come to us in many deep and precious truths. We have come to realize and exper¬ ience the abundant life “in Christ” — that life of fulness and victory. We have been convinced of the absolute necessity of dedicating our lives unreservedly to Him. Furthermore, we have “come to grips” with our obliga¬ tion of world evangelism. Fellow graduates, in view of the unlimited resources and opportunities at our disposal, let us yield all our time and talents to God so as to be His instruments in saving a lost humanity.
